Chapter 154: Someone Invited
Early the next morning, Guo Song went to the school field to practice polo, and there was no problem for him to play set-pieces, but he still needed a certain amount of accumulation to play in high-speed confrontation, but for others, it may take a few years, but for him, it only takes a few days.
Yesterday afternoon, he was relatively passive in the confrontation game, losing to the opponent by a large score, but this morning the situation began to reverse, playing three games in one morning, all of which were a draw, Guo Song obviously improved faster than yesterday.
Li Ji was very excited in his heart, if he continued to practice like this, maybe by the time of the game, Guo Song would be able to play as the main force.
He can't take care of the whole team training now, all the plans are around Guo Song, and strive to make Guo Song out of the division before the official game, the most surprising thing for Li Ji is that Guo Song has a strong sense of tactics, whether it is receiving, breaking or passing the ball is very in place, how much game experience does it take to slowly accumulate it, how did Guo Song do it?
He couldn't figure it out, of course, he didn't know that 1,300 years later there was a game called football, and all kinds of tactics and player coordination were much more complicated than polo.
"Let's take a break!" Han Chongqing shouted from the sidelines.
"Let's go get some rest."
Li Ji commanded loudly, and everyone turned their horses' heads and ran to the sidelines.
Guo Song turned over and dismounted, Lin Tai smiled at him and asked: "The backhand pass is very exciting, you didn't even look back at Li Duwei, how do you know that he is behind you?" ”
"A gut feeling! The two of you are outflanked left and right, and there must be a gap behind, and of course Captain Li has to answer at the gap. ”
Lin Tai gave a thumbs up and praised: "This is called tacit understanding, not simple!" It's only been the next day that you've found this tacit understanding. ”
At this time, Han Chongqing came over and asked Guo Songdao: "I have a friend who wants to invite you to have a meal at noon, do you have time?" ”
Guo Song smiled and asked, "What does your friend do?" ”
Guo Chongqing hesitated, "I can't say it, just give me this face and have a meal!" ”
"Okay!"
Guo Song nodded, "I'll go and talk to Li Ji and ask for an hour's leave." ”
Guo Song changed into a robe, wore a gauze hat, and followed Guo Chongqing to Chongshanfang, where the Vermilion Bird Restaurant is also one of the top ten restaurants in Chang'an, although it is relatively low-key, but the layout is quite luxurious, it has no restaurant, it is composed of a small courtyard, covering a total area of about eight acres.
There were still four guards standing at the entrance of the innermost courtyard, which made Guo Song stunned, who was Guo Chongqing's friend?
Guo Chongqing hurriedly said: "His identity is a bit special, but please rest assured, there is no malice!" ”
Guo Song followed Guo Chongqing into the courtyard quietly, and there were also four guards standing in the courtyard, at this time Guo Song suddenly saw an acquaintance, Wei Ping, the guard who went to the Sijie Department together, he also saw Guo Song, and was stunned for a moment.
"Guo Gongzi, why are you?" Wei Ping was surprised.
Guo Song's face was a little difficult to look at, there were palace guards standing at the door, and there was a chance that they were royalty.
"Guo Chongqing, I gave you face, but you dug a trap for me!" Guo Song said coldly.
Guo Chongqing's face was swollen red, and at this time, a young man walked out of it, wearing a white lake silk robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a gold silk gauze hat on his head.
He smiled and said: "Please forgive Guo Gongzi, it is the name of this king who has admired Gongzi for a long time, and I insist that Guo Chongqing invite you, this king Li Shi, Guo Gongzi should have heard of it!" ”
It turned out that this was Tang Dezong Li Shi, Guo Song was surprised in his heart, isn't Guo Chongqing Guo Ziyi's fake son? How did you get in a relationship with Li Shi?
He also hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Lu, Xiaomin was rude." ”
"Where! Where! It's me who is doing things abruptly, Guo Gongzi, please! ”
"Thank you! Your Highness, please! ”
Since he has come, Guo Song also went with the flow and followed Li Shi into the inner hall, he still couldn't help but glance at Wei Ping, Wei Ping was the guard who summoned Wang Li Si to the grassland, and it should belong to Li Si's henchmen, why did he turn to guard Li Shi now?
Li Shi saw Guo Song's doubts, so he smiled lightly: "Wei Ping is a thousand cows, in fact, my father's guard, I was sent by my father yesterday to protect my safety, of course I want my father's kindness, and the guards outside are all sent by my father." ”
Guo Song suddenly understood that this was a means for Li Shi to show his loyalty to the Son of Heaven, replacing all the personal guards with people sent by the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven sent these guards to monitor Li Shi, or to keep a distance between him and Cheng Yuanzhen.
Everyone walked into the room and sat down, and at this time, a scribe about forty years old got up and saluted Guo Song, with a clear appearance and an unusually gentle and elegant appearance, which made him feel good.
Li Shi introduced Guo Song with a smile: "This is Lu Qi, who joined the army in the Lu Wangfu Office, and after the famous family, he is a well-educated person!" ”
Guo Song was stunned, Lu Qi was not the famous traitor, it was claimed that even Guo Ziyi was afraid of him, and history said that he had a blue face and was extremely ugly.
But this Lu Qi in front of him is gentle and elegant, with a strong affinity, and he can't match the ugliness at all, but think about it, if he is as ugly as a ghost, how can he be reused in the Tang Dynasty, which is extremely important?
It seems that Lu Qi should be Li Shi's military advisor or staff member now, so Li Shicai brought him to this banquet.
Guo Song looked at the people around him again, he wanted to know what kind of status Cheng Yuanzhen was in by Li Shi's side?
Li Shi personally poured a full glass of wine for Guo Song and said with a smile: "Guo Gongzi's arrows are brave, and he is powerful in the frontier and grassland, I deeply admire him, I respect Guo Gongzi for this cup of wine!" ”
Guo Song hurriedly got up, "Thank you, Your Highness, Guo Song has no merit, I really can't afford His Highness's favor, I am very ashamed!" ”
The two drank a glass of wine, and Guo Chongqing was quick and rushed to fill the two with wine.
Li Shi smiled again: "It's all my own people here, there is a sentence I might as well tell Gongzi the truth, in fact, I know that the person who was searched for by Yu Chao Enman City is Guo Gongzi, and the person who assassinated Li Fuguo, Yu Lingxuan and even Tian Shenyu is also Guo Gongzi, I'm right!" ”
Guo Song couldn't help but secretly admire him, he was worthy of being the emperor, his keen eyes were indeed trendy, this was not testing himself, if he was not sure, he would not be qualified to sit here and eat with him.
"What basis does Your Highness have?"
Li Shi stretched out four fingers, "First, a figure like Guo Gongzi, I don't dare to say that it is one in a million, it must be only one in three thousand, and Yu Chaoen grabbed the figure of Gongzi; second, with archery like Childe, Chang'an can't find a second person; Third, Gongzi just came back from Jianghuai, and he should have gone to Yangzhou with Liu Yan; Fourth, Gongzi has a gold medal enshrined in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and the four conditions are combined, can't I still guess? ”
Guo Song remembered that when he touched the money bag to pay the bill the night before, the gold medal for the offering happened to fall out and was picked up by Liang Wu, and he must have been seen by Guo Chongqing.
He smiled slightly and asked, "How is Brother Chongqing a person from His Royal Highness?" ”
Guo Chongqing hurriedly explained: "Actually, I am also the worship of Tianqing Pavilion, don't think about it, it was the old man who asked me to participate, and the old man supported His Royal Highness King Lu." ”
Guo Song nodded, and asked Lu Qi with a smile: "There is something that I have always been puzzled about, so I can ask Mr. Lu for advice." ”
"Don't dare! Guo Gongzi, please speak. ”
"I heard that many famous families in Datang support King Zheng, what is the reason for this?"
Lu Qi shook his head, "Not all famous families, our Fanyang Lu family supports King Lu, in fact, this has something to do with the Emperor Taishang's Cui Guifei, the Emperor Taishang loved Cui Guifei very much, and later under the arrangement of Cui Guifei, the daughter of the Cui family married today's son, as the concubine of Guangping Wang, and later gave birth to King Zheng, this is why the Cui family supports King Zheng, Cui Pei's two families have a deep marriage, it can be said that one glory is honored, and one loss is lost, so it is understandable that the Pei family also supports King Zheng, as for our Lu family, He has always been more inclined to research and learning, and he does not care too much about the power struggle in the imperial court. ”
Guo Song knew in his heart that these famous families also had to bet on both ends, the Cui and Pei families supported King Zheng, and the Lu family of course wanted to burn King Lu's incense.
This kind of thing can't be said explicitly, he just smiled, raised his glass and smiled at Lu Qi: "Thank you Mr. Lu for solving your doubts, I respect Mr. for this cup!" ”
Everyone drank a few more glasses of wine and chatted about polo for a while, without mentioning the words of Guo Song, Li Shi couldn't stay outside for a long time, so he got up and went back.
Han Chongqing accompanied Guo Song back again, and the two rode slowly, Han Chongqing said apologetically: "I'm sorry today, I can't refuse King Lu's request, and I can't say it to Brother Xianming." ”
Guo Song smiled faintly: "Could it be that Brother Chongqing is Cheng Yuanzhen's subordinate?" ”
"You are wrong, Tianqing Pavilion is different from Tianyuan Pavilion, Tianqing Pavilion has always been firmly grasped by His Royal Highness King Lu, and Cheng Yuanzhen can't reach out."
After a moment of silence, Guo Song asked again: "What is the relationship between His Royal Highness King Lu and Cheng Yuanzhen?" ”
Guo Song saw that he was a little hesitant, and said: "If it's convenient for you, just say it, and if it's inconvenient, forget it." ”
Guo Chongqing said in a low voice: "This is the battle between their brothers for succession, it was His Royal Highness King Lu who first pretended to form an alliance with Cheng Yuanzhen and confused King Zheng, but as a result, King Zheng also formed an alliance with Yu Chaoen, but in the end he was controlled by Yu Chaoen step by step, in fact, His Royal Highness King Lu and Cheng Yuanzhen have nothing to do with each other, this is an agreement between the two, you know what I mean!" ”
Guo Song was speechless for a long time, Li Shi's move was still really poisonous! dug a huge trap for Zheng Wang Li Miao, who was young and scheming so deeply.
However, Guo Song guessed that this strategy should be planned by Lu Qi, this kind of poisonous plan is very in line with his character, isn't he Li Shi's military advisor?
